Battery life? What kind of batteries does this camera use, and how is its battery life?

Fuji NP-140 or Impact IMNP-140 (for less $). I have the Fuji battery that came with it and two Impacts in addition; use it for professional wedding photography and get about 375 to 475 shots...If you are using an external flash, and not the camera flash, you will get more shots off one battery charge. The camera will accurately tell you when the battery power is getting low.

It has a pretty great battery life. I purchased it for using on our boat and have taken pictures for hours at least 2-3 days in a row with no battery issues. I have had no complaints.

It's the rechargeable type. Make sure to charge it before you begin taking pictures. I learned the hard way. I can't tell exactly how long the charge lasts but it is a decent amount of time.

The battery is an SLB-10A Lithium Ion battery and additional batteries can be purchased. Battery life is very good. I love this camera!

It is Canon's LP-E6 battery and is rechargeable. For shooting photos, it'll last something along the lines of 300-500 shots depending on how you shoot. I don't shoot video, so I couldn't tell you how long they will hold out for video.

Hello there, in my box there was an AC adaptor, rechargeable battery, Micro USB cable, wrist strap and 2 small connectors (for connecting a larger next strap - not included). I separately purchased an out-of-camera wall charger and a 2 spare batteries. Battery life is pretty good... I got about 300 shots (some HDR) and 4 short (30 sec) videos over a single 4 hour session of fairly consistent shooting, but for normal - take it on a hike or to the birthday party - use it should last all day.

This camera takes 4 AA batteries. Surprisingly, they last a long time. I used it several times, several days a week, and it was at least 2 weeks before i had to change them. I love this camera! It takes amazing close ups & stills. Not great for sports or action bc the pics are blurry. ;0)

Dang, anyone know if there are still any cameras that use real batteries like this? I'd have had to replace my Sony multiple times over if it used proprietary batteries. They're such a pain, and I wish NOTHING used them. I need a new/better camera though, and REALLY want something that still uses regular batteries.

Of course, it depends on how many pictures were taken in that hour, the flash, video, replay, and speed. I simply take pictures of my twins on special occasions. I've never really had a problem w/the battery life and can do a good 2 days while traveling w/out recharging. If it continues maybe you can contact customer service about replacing the battery bc the camera must be relatively new. Mine is only 5 months old.

O don't remember since I bough the camera to my uncle. But it's a sony battery and it lasts a long time. My uncle loves the camera!! Good luck!!

I haven't really gauged how long the battery lasts; much depends on flash usage, video vs. stills, etc. But, the battery in my new camera out lasts its predecessor, and I don't even give battery life a second thought. If you're worried, get a second, back-up battery.

I would agree with joe, i have not ran the battery down, in my use , so i would say at least 1 1/2 hours. i purchased mine for less than 30 dollars. This camera is of much better quality than the other cheap chinese cameras, i've used before. water proof case a bonas....GOOD LITTLE CAMERA.

This camera doesn't use replaceable AA or AAA kind batteries. Camera comes with its own internal battery to be charged with Mini-USB cable. Hope that helps.

It only uses AA batteries, and it burns through them rather quickly. The camera often died at the worst times.
